Sales Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for relaying information to clients and coworkers" July 31, 2024 5.0 Egnyte is used by every department, which allows us to respond faster to urgent requests and resolve issues with document access. Allows us to swiftly respond to client requests by gaining access to relevant files and information, sparing them the inconvenience of having to come back to the office. When the consumer has a quick question or request that needs a quick response, this is quite useful. It allows us to combine our resources regardless of our location or the device we're utilizing. Quickly integrates with any other business app and is compatible with them all. Being familiar with the product saves time and effort during change management, implementation, and training. Pros The fact that so many individuals utilize Egnyte is something I really like. Sending and receiving papers with other people and organizations is a breeze. I won't have to worry about your home screens or device memory being full when I save and retrieve data. The data is stored in a safe environment, and only those I give permission to can access the papers I provide them. It is fantastic to have all my information in one place and accessible from any device, anytime. Cons Avoid inconsistencies and conflicts by never editing the same file in two places at the same time when sharing it. Review Source eric arzouma R. CEO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Une solution de stockage et partage de fichiers professionnelle" February 17, 2023 4.0 Lorsque j'ai utilisé Egnyte, j'ai trouvé que c'était un logiciel puissant et complet pour la gestion des fichiers. Bien qu'il y ait une courbe d'apprentissage pour maîtriser toutes les fonctionnalités, j'ai trouvé que l'interface était relativement facile à utiliser. L'option de stockage sécurisé des données est particulièrement utile, car elle m'a permis de stocker des données importantes sans m'inquiéter de leur sécurité. En outre, les contrôles d'accès et les permissions permettent de s'assurer que seules les personnes autorisées peuvent accéder aux fichiers. Les fonctionnalités de partage des fichiers et de synchronisation en temps réel ont également été très utiles pour travailler avec d'autres membres de l'équipe.En ce qui concerne les problèmes que Egnyte a résolus dans mon entreprise, il a grandement amélioré notre efficacité dans la gestion des fichiers. Les flux de travail sont plus clairs et nous pouvons facilement collaborer sur des projets avec des membres d'équipes distantes. Nous avons également gagné en sécurité, car nous pouvons stocker des données sensibles en toute sécurité. En outre, l'accès mobile nous permet de travailler à distance en déplacement, ce qui est particulièrement important dans le monde actuel du travail à distance. Pros Les points forts d'Egnyte comprennent sa facilité d'utilisation, la sécurité de son stockage de données, sa gestion des flux de travail et ses fonctionnalités de partage de fichiers. L'impact le plus significatif de ce logiciel est sa capacité à stocker et partager des documents en toute sécurité, ainsi que sa gestion efficace des flux de travail pour une collaboration en équipe plus fluide. L'intégration avec les processus actuels peut nécessiter un peu de temps et de travail, mais en général, elle est bien prise en charge par le produit. La facilité d'utilisation d'Egnyte est également un atout, avec une interface intuitive qui permet aux utilisateurs de naviguer facilement dans le logiciel et d'accéder rapidement aux fonctionnalités essentielles. Cons Les aspects du produit qui ont posé des difficultés sont l'interface difficile à naviguer et la complexité de certaines fonctionnalités avancées, qui nécessitent une formation supplémentaire pour les utiliser correctement. De plus, le produit est très coûteux par rapport à d'autres options sur le marché.Quant aux fonctionnalités manquantes ou qui pourraient être améliorées, il serait intéressant d'ajouter une option de personnalisation de l'interface ainsi que des fonctionnalités de collaboration en temps réel plus avancées. Cependant, il est important de noter que ces opinions peuvent varier en fonction des besoins et des attentes individuelles de chaque utilisateur. Review Source FM Faiza M.

Large file cloud storage and transfer. Cloud Data syncing. Cons If I mention a drawback,it would be a white lie. Review Source Tamas Hunor D. IT Solutions Engineer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good and robust solution, but higher priced" January 13, 2022 5.0 Overall we had a great experience with Egnyte. Works fast, the sync and sharing features are good. But we divided our storage solution into two different parts (high volume video files and corporate docs). We found that the maximum file size limit for Egnyte was too small for us. Pros There are a lot of great features including authentication, sync with 3rd party NAS devices, easy sharing. Cons I would say we found it too expensive for ourselves. Maybe we didn't used all of the functions that Egnyte allows.

Pros Everything it does. Google Docs and O365 docs in the same ecossytem. Version control. SUPER granular access privilege control. Trash for up to 6 months. AND Protect as an optional add on that give AMAZING levels of data security. And on top of all that the support team is super helpful and fast to respond. Cons It has its buggy moments. The mobile offering is definitely weaker than the desktop. Deployment can be tricky because it has its quirks you have to train users on. Switched from [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/) 1000% better features.

From the start it was obvious that this was a superior way of having a server that we have never looked back. Pros Is everything an acceptable response? Easy to setup - easy to use Plugin for Outlook - can create download links to send entire folders Can setup either as something that syncs a specific file(s) to the Egnyte server or have direct access to the server (depending on the user one is better then the other). Mobile apps for both iOS and Andriod - everyone has access to all their files from anywhere they have data coverage or Wi-Fi Their tech support is top notch, always responds same day. Cons I have yet to find a con. I guess there are free options available (Google Drive and OneDrive) but the free options are very limited so you'll have to eventually buy a plan anyways. Review Source Andrei P. Data Scientist Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Egnyte is a does it all software with security being its strong point." December 9, 2022 5.0 Egnyte has a very strong security, but it also offers other features at the same time, and they do work very well. I would recommend Egnyte for big companies who what a document management software with strong security. Pros The encryption and key management are the best ones in the sector. Cons Egnyte appears to be made only for big companies.

The platform is very simple to use. Also creating shareable links is very straightforward and it is easy to keep track of everything through Egnyte. Pros One of the things that I like very much about Egnyte is the ability to upload files in bulk. Also, we can access files from any device, and the cloud storage security is top-notch. Cons I do not have any major dislike for Egnyte. Everything is to my liking, and I hope it stays that way Review Source VR Verified Reviewer financial advisor Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience with egnyte" June 12, 2020 3.0 We use Egnyte to share, access, upload/download files within and outside the office. It serves well some days but I am personally not a big fan of it knowing there are other platforms that work more seamlessly. Pros I like the fact that its cloud based and has mobile sharing too, makes sharing files between office locations possible and easy. Cons Its not the best content sharing platform I've used.It doesn't really integrate well with google and can be confusing to use sometimes. Review Source Response from Egnyte June 16, 2020 Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you found our mobile solutions easy to use across multiple locations.

Cons If I were to reward cloud Data management vendors, I would undoubtedly reward egnyte. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Localisation Engineer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Engyte is the perfect platform to store your work in the cloud" April 14, 2018 5.0 Pros This software ends with the big file sharing issues by storing all your work files in the cloud. This comes with the benefit of keeping your computer clean and light. Also, sharing files among coworkers is made easy by using short links. You can specify the type of permissions you want for a given folder so that you can make it available only to a particular group of people, for example. This is useful when sensitive content is being shared. Another great functionality, if you work with vendors, is you can provide them with a link that will just allow them to drop files while they won't be able to see or modify its contents. Cons \- While having everything in the cloud is great you need to account for time spent downloading and uploading content, which can be a lot depending on your Internet connection. Review Source GS Genna S. Personal assistant Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy cloud storage " August 23, 2023 5.0 Honestly we have had no issues with the program. This program has been able to link all of our staff from various offices and create a fantastic common space to share and upload all data mitigating a lot of paper storage. Pros A very user friendly platform that works seamlessly to share data with a remote team, and be used as a cloud for all data within the office. Very easy to navigate, share, and edit all files within Egnyte. Cons The only critique would be the quick access panel on the left hand side have clearer icons or sub headings Review Source Logan S. Associate, Creative Services Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love Egnyte! Top file storage, sharing and manipulation" April 5, 2020 5.0 Pros The ability to install Egnyte drives to your machine has made file browsing, downloading and updating a seamless breeze that integrates right into your operating system. Egnyte allows a user to revert back to previous versions or restore deleted files which is a huge help when file error or human error occurs. Their online web tool is great for searching and takes away the limit of the operating system which slows the search down. Their online tool is also great for file management and version controlling. Cons The only downfall I have found is that Egnyte requires a relatively strong and fast internet connection to properly perform, and I have had occasions where this has let me down and cause file malfunctions between users. Review Source JS Jeffrey S. Director of Marketing Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Egnyte Does the Job, but That's it." April 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Egnyte is a cloud storage service with some basic admin controls and a desktop app that allows you to treat it as a network drive, as well a browser-based service. It functions perfectly fine in its role as a cloud service. Data is stored without any issue and the cost is reasonable. Cons The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The best way to actually get assistance is to dial in and press the button for sales, you'll be assigned a lot more value. It's not the best customer retention strategy, but in my experience, the dedicated support folks are difficult to get ahold of and have to escalate your issue more often than not because they are third-party. The Salesforce API fails periodically leaving the office high and dry if I (IT Director) am not around. It's a quick fix, but the process isn't something that can be done without admin access and a decent base of knowledge. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CMO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolute must for fast growing companies" April 24, 2018 5.0 Pros Egnyte and its various integrations is an absolute must for a shared file system in any startup. As a growing company, employees have their favorite tools - Engineers seem to prefere Google, Marketing and Sales and Administrative generally need MS Office, etc. Egnyte allows everything to be accessible from a single interface. "where is that slide deck? was it Google Drive or One Drive or just local to your computer?" is a major problem in a fast moving, growing company. Egnyte solves that as part of everyday business. User administration is simplified with straight forward AD integration and also key is inviting outside consultants to share documents is trivial as well. All huge workflow advantages. Cons The robust feature set can sometime confuse folks who's user behavior has been set by Google Drive or OneDrive (or even Box or DropBox). Review Source RA Riley A. Sales Coordinator Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Organization is Key" January 16, 2024 5.0 Pros Our Team heavily relies on Egnyte services. This is where we store all of our updated information that everyone on the team has access to. The thing that I like most about Egnyte, is the sense of security it offers. I take comfort in the fact that all of our company information is in a safe place that only team members can access. Cons I think one thing Egnyte can work on, is the navigation between different folders. It would be convenient if there was a way to switch over quickly to a new folder, without having to navigate to the home screen. Other than that I have no issues, Egnyte is a great tool for our company. Review Source LINDA H. Sales Agent Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keeps all records in one place" November 12, 2019 5.0 All team members file all our contracts, all documents from our clients and even each team member has their own personal folder Pros This product keeps all our records from all team members in one place. It makes it easy to see if we already have contact with a client, file all contracts, and also we can securely share files with clients Cons I have no complaints, this is a very expandable product. It has served well in organizing all our client records Review Source Prince J. Business Analyst Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Egnyte is great - only if you get their other services" April 26, 2021 4.0 I was on the team helping a client work through their use of Egnyte. We are "re-implementing" the system for them. It almost felt like Egnyte had no clear picture of what the client's situation was - which was annoying as well. Overall, we've kept wondering why our client used Egnyte at all, since they had MS Teams. Besides some extra security, there isn't much difference in the features you can use between the two. But if you have some of their other add-ons, it is worth it. Pros Useful features, very fast syncing capabilities, as well as offline synching capabilities. There's also a lot of automated processes as well as MS Power Automate support Cons Power Automate support is extra (on Microsoft's end of it) and the many other features of basic Egnyte are available in MS Teams. So if you're already paying for Teams, there's no point to get Egnyte unless you also get Protect or GxP environment. They're also too new in the GxP space so it is a bit unclear.

Managing Director & Global Chief Marketing & Technology Officer Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for remote businesses" December 14, 2018 4.0 So far, very satisfied with it. Great for remote/distributed teams, good value for the money vs the mainstays like Dropbox and Box. Pros I migrated to Egnyte from a local NAS file server. Now, I wish I did this earlier. Egnyte is great for us, literally it is our entire file server that follows us everwhere with an internet connection so it's extremely convenient (with the Desktop connect feature). I would have signed up a few year's ago but they didn't have the Team plan back then and now that they do, it's great for smaller businesses/teams. I don't have to worry about local/physical risks to our physical file server anymore, everything is in the cloud. Very happy with it so far. Cons Initially during my trial, I had lots of problems upload via FTP and after various messages to the support/sales, there was no response. But once I communicated via another channel, they were very responsive and dealt with the issue. Not sure if it was an issue with it being on a Trial account but once I upgraded to the paid plan, it was working fine. Review Source Lee S. Director of New Projects Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Capable Software for Document Security and Sharing" May 8, 2019 5.0 Great! Pros Very robust software for storing documents in the cloud. Allows everyone to access latest versions. Favorite aspect is the ability to share files and be notified when and where they are opened from. It's also nice to have version history for files. Lastly, having desktop file access makes using very seamless. It's just like using your regular (C:) drive. Cons Sharing capability has to be done through the online site. It would be nice to be able to get a sharing link straight from the desktop file system. Review Source Anya T. Design Engineer Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud Software Great for Collaboration" November 6, 2018 5.0 Great for our smaller office solution to keep a lot of files organized between many users, probably good for large offices too, has a very functional phone app for adding pictures or viewing files on the go. Pros Easy to use, easy to track who is working on what, it provides a way to email out of company large file links to download from. Cons I don't think I have any complaints with this software. The issues Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Purchasing Inventory Manager Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent for small company with several remote workers" September 24, 2019 5.0 Our switch to Egnyte was a great decision and would recommend any other company to do the same. Pros We have several remote workers in our company, and this allows everyone to access the same folders. Easily downloads and syncs onto your computer. We switched to Egnyte after our server was dying, and this proved to be an affordable, secure solution to our digital files. It's easy to customized access to different users, allowing for private HR and accounting files. Cons If you are accessing from the website (rather than downloading), it can be slow. It defaults to sending everyone in the company a ton of emails, which can easily be turned off but can be annoying at first. Review Source Priyansh K. Owner Animation Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A reliable and user-friendly cloud storage solution with a few drawbacks" December 21, 2022 4.0 Overall, I would recommend Egnyte to other small business owners as a reliable and user-friendly cloud storage solution, despite the drawbacks mentioned above. Pros I have been using Egnyte for my small business for the past 6 months and have found it to be a reliable and user-friendly cloud storage solution. The platform is easy to navigate, and I appreciate the ability to store and access my files from anywhere with an internet connection. The integration with other business tools, such as Google Drive and Microsoft Office, has also been very helpful. I synced all my devices to it to make my workflow smoother. Cons However, there are a few drawbacks to using Egnyte that I have encountered. Firstly, the pricing can be a bit steep for smaller businesses like mine, especially if you need to store a large amount of data. Secondly, the search function could be improved - I have found it to be somewhat unreliable at times. Thirdly, the customer support could be more responsive - it can take a while to get a response when you have an issue that needs addressing. Finally, there have been a few instances where the platform has experienced downtime, which can be frustrating. Review Source RN Rikke N. Junior Production Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Drive software for corporate business" May 7, 2019 5.0 I'm happy with Egnyte and I feel like my work can be stored here in a safe and reliable way. The speed of file transfers are pretty good and I like the flexibility and applications there's available. Pros Great software and portal for file and file-sharing. I have the option to use Egnyte in my browser, as a drive on my PC or as automatic desktop backup. All options can also work together. The structure of files can be made as you like and the sharing options are great. You can edit files in your browser or open and edit in your desktop client. The sharing options are great and you can customize what people should be able to see or do. Clients can get access to specific folders etc. Cons It takes some time to learn how to use it due to the many options. I think it is a learning curve that's worth using time on. Egnyte cannot handle large files which is annoying as a designer. Inherited permissions can become a bit of a mess and there's not really any easy way to make it better. Reporting could also be improved.
